Smart Grid: by Mahesh Reddy. J

The smart grid aims to address issues with the existing power grid such as power outages, inefficient peak load management, and limited support for renewable energy and distributed generation. It uses digital communications and automation to detect and react to local changes in usage. The smart grid is expected to provide higher quality, more reliable power; accommodate more renewable energy; enable new technologies; and reduce costs for utilities and consumers. It will accomplish this through functions like self-healing, motivating consumer participation, and accommodating all generation options. Key technologies include integrated communications, sensing, advanced components, and control methods. Applications involve automatic metering, real-time pricing, demand response, vehicle integration, and distribution automation. Overall, the smart grid promises

What is Smart Grid?
Issues with the Existing Grid

• Power outages and power quality disruptions cost more than $150
billion annually.4,5

• The grid is inefficient at managing peak load.

• The grid does not support robust information flow.

• Very high levels of renewable energy pose challenges for the grid.

• The grid has limited support for distributed generation.

• The grid would be strained by high PHEV deployments.


Why should we implement ???

• Gives the utility actionable information

• Gives the consumer actionable information

• Automates and decentralizes decisions

• Supports and enhances new technologies


Overview of Smart Grid
How we implement ???
Functions of Smart Grid
• Be able to heal itself
• Motivate consumers to actively participate in operations of the grid
• Resist attack
• Provide higher quality power that will save money wasted from
outages
• Accommodate all generation and storage options
• Enable electricity markets to flourish
• Run more efficiently
• Enable higher penetration of intermittent power generation
sources
